Why Am I Trying So Hard?

A new thought has been moving thru my mind the last couple of weeks.  And I like it.  Maybe after 57 years of trying to make myself fit into this world… it is time to try making the world fit to me.

If it does not work for me… then why should it matter?  I have spent my life trying to live according to someone else’s ideal.  It is only now occurring to me that I should turn the tables and claim what I deserve.  Is that too much to ask?

I am not asking for the diminishment of anyone… I just want what I have never had in my life.  I am almost 58, and I have…  no life of my own.

  1. What I don’t understand about this post is how you have been trying to fit yourself into the world. From my perspective, you have been trying to make the world fit you for a long time..in what you wear, what you are willing to participate in, etc. You have never conformed.
